grips with global issues like nuclear disarmament there was one person who certainly stole the show. donald trump president of the united states of america. china's market distortions. and the way they deal. cannot be tolerated. opec nations are as usual ripping off the rest of the world i don't like it nobody should lie to. germany will become totally dependent on russian energy if it does not immediately change course and.

nations of the world should use is socialism. and the misery. that is bringing the . u.n. human rights council. has become a grave embarrassment no supported recognition to the international criminal court and the i.c.c. has no jurisdiction no legitimacy and no if our. god bless the nations of the world thank you very much. the u.s. leader gave plenty of attention to the north korea issue to take to praise washington's progress with pyongyang but in the week just gone it seemed the north korean foreign minister didn't quote much trumps enthusiasm. we are doing great that was a big big problem and you know the interesting when i did it and i was really being

tough and so was seeing how we love back and forth and then we fell in love ok no really he wrote me beautiful letters and they're great letters so i mean on. the continuing sanctions deepen our mistrust of the u.s. the u.s. heavily relies on coercive measures that are lethal to trust building without any trust in the us we have no confidence in our national security and under such circumstances there is no way we will unilaterally disarm ourselves because it was a so long ago was it that washington and pyongyang appeared to be on the brink of war now the u.s. secretary of state claims both countries are at the dawn of a new day trying to recapture the past eventful twelve months it's only been a year and then boom donald trump's second u.n. general assembly just listen to it i would like to thank your man kim for his courage and for the steps he has taken a lot of very positive things are happening with chairman kim he likes me i like

him we get along but most importantly i believe that chairman kim jong un wants peace and prosperity for north korea twelve months ago same building same halls same mr trump no one has shown more contempt for other nations and for the well being of their own people then their depraved regime in north korea no north korea hasn't undergone any regime change surgery chairman kim is still in his chair but miraculously little rocket man is now an awesome guy rocket man shooting rockets all over the place and with me he's there to get the wherewithal he will true of attempted rape thirty six years ago testified before the u.s. senate judiciary committee it was a big draw on t.v. across the country with twenty million people shooting in. i recall saying that the bully who assaulted me could someday be on the u.s.

supreme court i denied the allegation immediately categorically an unequivocal and here today not because i want to be and terrified my family and my name have been totally and permanently destroyed my family and i have been the target of constant harassment and threats i intend no wheel well to dr ford and her family the other night actually and my daughter lies assert their prayers and little lies all of ten years old. said to actually we should pray for the woman. it's a lot of wisdom from a ten year olds. we mean we know we're well. i believe that if i came forward my single voice would be drowned out by a of

a chorus of powerful supporters this is a circus. well another round of hearings in the senate judiciary committee the us president then ordered an f.b.i. investigation into covenant insisting none the less that he's paid remains the best choice still for the job of a republican senator called up a spoke in the full senate confirmation and launch a week long investigation of the divide was evident among committee members during what turned out to be a heated debate filler gallus from wonderland around here rather than working with us my democratic colleagues chose not to participate in this process and yet again and again their refrain has been the same delay delay delay i'm very disappointed that we are here today voting on this nomination this is supposed to be an independent equal branch of government we're no longer that. we're in a very weak are of a trump or you know us is the beginning. of

a process. that will tear this country apart the u.s. senate judiciary committee has been conducting confirmation hearings for brett kavanaugh nominated to be a supreme court justice by donald trump they took a vote to take the nomination of brett kavanaugh to the floor of the u.s. senate now as the vote was preparing we saw kind of a last minute proposal from republican senator jeff flake he proposed essentially that a final vote on the floor of the senate wouldn't take place until the f.b.i. had been able to do an investigation i do think that we can. have a short pause and make sure that the f.b.i. can investigate and i understand it is that some of us would have to and i'm prepared to do it make a request to the white house to ask the f.b.i.

to do that investigation it would be short. and limited in scope to the current allegations that have been made i would like to support the motion for that investigation i've explained many times a mother if the investigation is not necessary the nomination of brett kavanaugh has certainly divided the united states of america both sides very fired up about it and it appears that next week we will have a final vote in the u.s. senate regarding his confirmation as a supreme court justice in the united states the highest court in the land but it has been quite contentious protests all around capitol hill lots of accusations on both sides lots of anger. it's been a huge surge in the no number of deaths from friday some point four quake following tsunami in indonesia here more than eight hundred thirty people now are confirmed dead but that number is expected to think to rise into the thousands in these in

disaster management agency says around two point four million people have been affected by the disaster rescuers are searching the rubble for survivors on the island of so the way see they're also trying to to reach an area called the garland which is thought to be the location of the earthquake epicenter then to the city of paolo which was hit by that deadly tsunami is now in ruins seventeen thousand locals are homeless there's no drinking water there are reports now of mass looting the full extent of the disastrous still unknown because roads are still blocked by landslides and communications are cut by ongoing widespread power outages in these and governments allocating more than thirty seven million dollars for the rescue and recovery operations. story came through from france in the last seven days in a bid to try and stop with the spread of disease the authorities in paris are increasing the number of special safe houses for drug addicts but it's not gone down well with nearby residents they say that to turn their lives into a nightmare charlotte dubrovsky investigates. behind these a gates stands at this

hour dishing the fixer france's first illegal venue especially for addicts the idea was to give addicts a safe space to get clean needles to prevent the spread of disease as well as to be able to seek help but since it opened almost she was years ago people living and working on this street say it's turned their lives into a nightmare and despite gangs diety about the celtics heat many locals were too afraid to speak directly on camera so if you see if you see the boy b d c three we . set up on the life. itself. the simple but. if. this is the way the boy didn't see. it if it.

was locals claim that the shooting gallery as it's been dubbed by the media makes the area for more dangerous and even though hundreds of addicts have made use of the facility many also is still choosing to shoot up right here on the street videos taken in recent weeks show drug deals also taking place in broad daylight the last time r.t. visited the street who was passed away we two witnessed an addict getting their fix . this is the spot where that video was shot and if you come with me now i want you to just get a sense of how close that addict was to the drugs room that is being set up by the authorities here it's just over here it's a stone's throw away and instead of using that facility that was available they decided to get high on their own terms violent and aggressive behavior is now being

witnessed he almost daily. police statistics show that since the drugs room was opened more than one thousand eight hundred offenses have been reported for the possession of narcotics that consumption and theft despite the outcry from locals earned significant evidence showing that it isn't having the desired effect sorties are now looking up to open up for drug crimes along with a move all version i think it would be necessary to have four rooms in paris and suburbs including one to do with smoking crack on our balance treatment but needs health needs. but if this pilot project is anything to go bowling these new versions just won't solve the problem in fact they could create even more so what do you can ski azzi paris well ahead of the sixteenth stage of formula one

in russia saatchi and a victory for a british driver lewis hamilton went really well there all the details on that and more the week's news on after this break. that a policeman would have made a push to ruin this if god save the life of that instant civilians and by all means we can be no possible thing even. at all and even. committing crime was the same is the international rules of the said a lot of its sixty eight. months and again also a lot of principles and values. what politicians do. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected.

so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to be cross that's what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of my house. first sit. down. again in news in from afghanistan in the last seven days there are hundreds of locals who previously worked for the country for the german army blocked the entrance to a military base demanding help from berlin they say their work has put their lives in danger but it seems their requests for asylum have been falling on deaf ears.

with the. unfortunately cranial governments destroyed their country don't tell maybe they don't understand this but they destroyed the country they lost not only crimea but they lost their own people in two regions ukrainians and russia they really have started to worry deep roots and to cut this road said to try just to show yourself that you are absolutely separate and the friend. from russia is that this is absolutely stupid the way this is a way to know where. the worst drug disaster in history would spread through more than forty six countries and produce up to twenty thousand badly deformed babies worldwide. but

historians today single out one birth in one nine hundred sixty one that changed the course of history in hamburg germany linda shoulder fillin age twenty three gave birth to her first child her husband wasn't with the time and it was quiet. and then lay back and was relaxed and some i mean somebody whispered into my ear. all right and i was here white awake and i said. what what what has happened to my baby anything wrong you know she said just. let's say. without any emotion. you know he's just cut short arms and i like a child would have asked possibly i said and aren't a calling anymore and shit this card grow this will be like it is now.
